single screw barrel and twin screw barrel is that number of screw used to
manufacture the entire tool. In single screw barrel is comprises of only one
screw while the other contains 2 screws inside a barrel.
Also there comes the variation in the length and width. As
the twin screw barrel contains more screws than the first one, it is usually
bigger in size. The maximum length of the barrel in the twin barrel is 6000mm
as in single screw barrel it is 5000mm.
